Thread: Test fitted a prototype set of B13 coilovers

I Have designed some adjustable rear lower control arms that I'm waiting on parts for and the parts for the coilovers are still being manufactured. I did go on ahead and get all the brakes and other suspension components ready for the install. wilwood fronts, maxima rears, ES bushings, new ball joints, whiteline caster bushings, u13 MC, brake lines, new rear hubs and spindles.

I'd be interested in just a set of shocks when my BC's give out. I have a GTiR which uses a different rear lower mount than b13, so I'd be happy just putting the BC GTiR harware onto this shock body. Will they sell just the shocks? I'm assuming they all use the same thread on the outside of the shock body....

I'm somewhat disappointed at the crappy dyno of the BC's... I knew they were crappy but MAN are they crappy lol.

I think the bc body is smaller in diameter. The fortune 500 has a very fat shock body because of the massive piston it houses. Ill measure and see for sure.

I finished building my first set of lower control arms. they came out even better than i hoped. just trying to keep the car moving along while i wait for coilover parts.... which are taking forever to machine...

I think the FA are 50mm and the BC's are prob 48mm.

My bc shocks are 50 mm in diameter measured at the threads with a digital caliper, but they list as 53 mm damper body...

The fortunes are 57mm body. No dice. I suppose I could probably modify a b13 set to fit. The only major difference is the rear sway bar link mount.

Hey man are you selling your progress setup? Let me know.

progress setup is being heavily modified and are going back on my track car.

coilovers are now done and refined. Everything from the finish to the piston is far better than the test unit I first built. utilizing fortune's new and improved 500 series dampers that they just released a couple weeks ago. Once I figure out pricing details with the nice people over at fortune auto ill make a groupbuy thread for those interested in having the most advanced coilovers ever offered for the b13 and b14 chassis.

WooHooO!!

I'm down! ..can't wait
